This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I'm alone, sitting with my empty glass.
My four walls follow me through my past.
I was on a Paris train
I emerged in London rain and you were waiting there swimming through apologies.
I remember searching for the perfect words.
I was hoping you might change your mind.
I remember a soldier sleeping next to me. Riding on the metro.
You wore white.
Smiling as you took my hand.
So removed, we spoke of wintertime in France.
Minutes passed with shallow words.
Years have passed and still the hurt.
I can see you now, smiling as you pulled away.
I remember the letter wrinkled in my hand.
"I'll love you always" filled my eyes.
I remember a night we walked along the Seine.
Riding on the metro.
I remember a feeling coming over me!
The soldier turned, then looked away.
I remember hating you for loving me!
Riding on the metro!
I'm alone, sitting with my broken glass.
My four walls, follow me through my past.
I was on a Paris train
I emerged in London rain
And you were waiting there swimming through apologies. (Fucking asshole).
I remember searching for the perfect words!!
I was hoping you might change your mind!
I remember a soldier sleeping next to me!
Riding on the metro!
My four walls follow me through my past.
I was on a Paris train
I emerged in London rain and you were waiting there swimming through apologies.
I remember searching for the perfect words.
I was hoping you might change your mind.
I remember a soldier sleeping next to me. Riding on the metro.
You wore white.
Smiling as you took my hand.
So removed, we spoke of wintertime in France.
Minutes passed with shallow words.
Years have passed and still the hurt.
I can see you now, smiling as you pulled away.
I remember the letter wrinkled in my hand.
"I'll love you always" filled my eyes.
I remember a night we walked along the Seine.
Riding on the metro.
I remember a feeling coming over me!
The soldier turned, then looked away.
I remember hating you for loving me!
Riding on the metro!
I'm alone, sitting with my broken glass.
My four walls, follow me through my past.
I was on a Paris train
I emerged in London rain
And you were waiting there swimming through apologies. (Fucking asshole).
I remember searching for the perfect words!!
I was hoping you might change your mind!
I remember a soldier sleeping next to me!
Riding on the metro!

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
